Watching Grizzlies in Yellowstone National Park

Yellowstone National Park is one of my favorite Rocky Mountain destinations. Not only is there amazing and unique scenery with many thermal features, water falls and mountains, but there are few places in the lower 48 states that allow you to see the selection of wildlife that Yellowstone offers.

Coming from Colorado, some of my favorite animals to see are the Grizzlies and Wolves. We have a lot of animals around Colorado, but we don't have any of those two species left in the state. We ended up seeing three different Grizzlies in different areas of the park. We came across one that was feeding on an Elk carcass. That bear wore a radio collar and I photographed him for about half an hour.

While I was photographing I decided to try shooting some video. Below is a quick video, just over a minute long of th bear feasting. Enjoy!
